Job Title & Location

Remote Staff Accountant (Remote)

Location: Remote — flexible hours around

Terre Haute, Indiana

We’re hiring a Staff Accountant right now because our recent Series B round added $45 million to the balance sheet, and the accounting engine needs fresh hands to keep the books clean as we launch three new product lines over the next six months. --- ### The Reality of This Role If you walk into our virtual “open‑door” meeting tomorrow, you’ll hear the hum of a finance team that grew from five to twelve members in just 10 months. We’re a B2B SaaS company headquartered in

Terre Haute, Indiana

, but 80 % of our staff work from home across the U.S. The moment you log into our Slack channel, you’ll see the same spreadsheet that a colleague in

Terre Haute

just updated, the same QuickBooks Online dashboard that a teammate in

Terre Haute, Indiana

is reconciling, and the same deadline clock ticking down to the next month‑end close. Your day‑to‑day will be a blend of routine and surprise. The routine part: posting weekly journal entries, reconciling bank feeds, and monitoring cash flow forecasts that keep our CFO from pulling his hair out. The surprise part: a sudden request from product to model the financial impact of a pricing experiment, or a quick dive into a newly‑imported data set from our sales ops team for a month‑end variance analysis. Why now? Our growth to $120 million ARR has outpaced our accounting capacity. The new product suite we’re rolling out in

Terre Haute

adds three revenue streams, each with its own recognition rules, so we need someone who can untangle the complexity without breaking a sweat. You’ll report to the Finance Manager, who sits in a co‑working space just a short drive from downtown

Terre Haute

, and you’ll partner daily with the senior controller, the senior analyst, and a part‑time payroll specialist who lives in

Terre Haute, Indiana

. Our collaboration style is deliberately async — we respect that you might be working in a different time zone, but we’ll always have a 30‑minute “watercooler” Zoom at 9 a.m.

By the end of year 1, you’ll have a seat at the monthly finance leadership meeting, influencing decisions on pricing and capital allocation. Within 18 months, we envision you stepping into a senior accountant role, leading a small team of remote assistants, and possibly taking on a project‑management track for our upcoming ERP migration. Our culture is built on transparency and trust. We run most of our meetings async — you’ll receive recordings and notes in our shared Google Drive, and you can comment directly in the spreadsheet. Core hours are 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Terre Haute

time, which helps us keep a daily rhythm while still giving you the freedom to start later if you’re on the West Coast. We have a quarterly “Finance‑All‑Hands” that takes place over Zoom with the entire company, and we always end it with a 5‑minute “story share” where anyone can talk about a personal win or challenge. > “I still remember the first time I saw the cash‑flow model come together – it felt like building a bridge you could actually walk across. That’s the kind of clarity we try to give every teammate.” – One of our senior accountants, based in

Terre Haute

, reflecting on his first month. --- ### Interview Process 1.

Resume & cover letter review

(we look for concrete numbers, not buzzwords). 2.

30‑minute phone chat

with the Finance Manager – we’ll talk about your most recent close, the tools you love, and any gaps you see in our current process. 3.

Take‑home exercise

(2 hours max) – you’ll reconcile a small set of transactions in Excel and draft a brief variance note. We’ll give you a full day to submit it. 4.

Live technical interview

(45 minutes) with our senior controller – we’ll dive into the exercise, walk through your thought process, and discuss how you’d automate a repetitive task. 5.

Culture fit conversation

(30 minutes) with a cross‑functional teammate from product in

Terre Haute

– we’ll ask you about remote collaboration, communication style, and how you unwind after a tight close. We move fast: most candidates hear back within 48 hours after each step. If you feel you’re not a perfect match for every requirement, still hit “apply.” We value curiosity and a willingness to learn more than a perfect checklist. --- ### Closing We are an equal‑opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status, or disability status. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear your story – the numbers you’ve moved, the systems you’ve built, and the way you see accounting as a narrative that drives business decisions. Drop us a line, attach your résumé, and let’s start the conversation. --- *P.S. Even though the role is remote, our finance team occasionally meets in a co‑working space in

Terre Haute, Indiana

for a quarterly “in‑person sprint.” It’s a low‑key way to put faces to the names we’ve been chatting with all year.* Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
